Q

difficulty making OK sign

A

anterior interosseous nerve damage

  • Paresis of flexor digitorum profundus (lateral) and flexor pollicus longus.
  • a pinch instead due to weakened flexion of interphalangeal joint of thumb and distal interphalangeal joint of index finger

Q

central band

A

extends PIP

17
Q

lateral band

A

extends DIP

18
Q

unipennate lumbricals

A

1 and 2

19
Q

bipennate lumbricals

A

3 and 4

20
Q

boutonniere (“button hole’) deformity

A

via jamming finger, laceration, RA

CENTRAL band tears

lateral bands move ventral to PIP axis (via lumbrical/interosseous m. action)

relocated lateral bands –> hyperextend DIP and flex PIP as attempts are made to extend finger

21
Q

mallet finger

A

ruptured extension tendon (where LATERAL bands insert onto distal phalanx)

22
Q

intrinsic thumb muscles

A

abductor pollicis brevis
flexor pollicis brevis
opponens pollicis
aDductor pollicis

23
Q

extrinsic thumb muscles

A

extensor pollicis longus
extensor pollicis brevis
aBductor pollicis longus
flexor pollicis longus

24
Q

which thenar m. has superficial and deep heads? innervation?

A

flexor pollicis brevis

superficial head –> median nerve (recurrent branch)
deep head –> ulnar n.

25
Q

superficial palmar arch of radial a. passes between which two thenar muscles?

A

opponens pollicis

aBductor pollicis brevis

26
Q

deep palmar arch of radial a. passes through 2 heads of which thenar muscles?

A

through transverse and oblique heads of adductor pollicis

27
Q

primary m. that flex the metacarpophalangeal joint

A

lumbricals

28
Q

mallet finger

A

lateral band is avulsed from the distal phalanx

29
Q

ulnar n. goes through ulnar tunnel and splits into …

A

deep (motor) branch of ulnar n.

superficial (mostly sensory, also supplies palmaris brevis)

30
Q

if only recurrent branch of median n. damaged –>

A

thumb opposition lost

31
Q

carpal tunnel syndrome: m. and skin affected

A

APB
FPB (superficial head only)
opponens pollicis
1st and 2rd lumbricals

lateral 3.5 digits (palmar side)
lateral, distal ends of 3.5 digits (dorsal side)

32
Q

persistent median a.

A

(5-10% prevalence)
norm regresses during fetal life

recognized cause of carpal tunnel syndrome (usu due to thrombosed MA, anticoagulant therapy often clears sx)

often assoc w/ bifurcated median n.

33
Q

ulnar (guyon’s) tunnel syndrome

A

compression of ulnar n. in ulnar canal (focal damage to myelin sheath: neuropraxia)

MOI: pressure on ulnar canal (extended cycling)

m. affected: all intrinsic hand m. EXCEPT 4.5 innervated by median n.

deficits

  • opposition (weak ODM)
  • pinching (weak adductor pollicis)
  • loss of fine motor control

skin affecetd

  • medial 1.5 fingers
  • paresthesia, pain
  • temporary recovery may be slow
